A quiet day on the Cape, the Auks appear to have done what they often do at this time of year, suddenly make a mass exodus from the cliffs, expect them back anytime soon though. 96 Fulmars went north on today’s seawatch and continuing the trend of recent days a Rook and 2 Carrion Crows came in off the sea, surely these are just local movers and haven’t come across from the continent. Elsewhere the northern Treecreeper was again on show in Millenium Wood and the Woodcock remained at South Landing.

At Buckton today the wintering Twite flock had increased to 42 individuals, other birds here included 2 Barn Owls, 4 Goldcrest, 3 Snipe, 35 Corn Bunting, a Dunlin on the village pond and a flock of 5 distant ‘grey’ geese NW along the cliff top.
